On the recording side of things - I really appreciate a lot of you guys offering to play, it's amazing. But I'm sure you guys know it makes sense for one person to track rhythm guitars so it's tight. Rather than have to choose one person and deny everyone else, if I do rhythms myself I can keep a certain level of quality control as well as consistency between tracks! (and as I came up with this, I'd obviously like to contribute some of the music!)
However, as much as I'd love to play bass and all solos etc, I'm more than happy for other people to chip in with all that - but whether we keep the same line up as Muppets or get other people to play solos/bass/vocals is something that I need to think about and discuss with the guys on muppets. Everyone did such an amazing job last time, that it's a guaranteed level of quality and consistency.
I REALLY don't want to exclude anyone, but there's no way that everyone can contribute with out it sounding like a mess and losing it's focus slightly....
But seriously, it's great that everyone's so keen
It would be brilliant if everyone could just play a riff here and there but I'm afraid that wouldn't work at all
